ALL artists! I am
very, VERY happy to announce that IMPROVIJAZZATION NATION is ACCEPTING
SUBMISSIONS again. I have been granted a (possibly long-term) stay of
execution for my trip to Iraq. I will still be traveling all
over the U.S., so new issues may be a little less timely, but (as always), we
will review your materials as soon as possible after we receive them. Look
at the guidelines for submission below, please:

MUSIC: All formats
accepted. Snail mail to: Zzaj Productions, c/o Dick Metcalf, 5308
65th Avenue, Lacey, WA 98513 The only criteria for music you submit is
that it MUST HAVE high performance energy... if you submit lacklustre material,
it will be reviewed accordingly

POETRY: Poems are
accepted for publication ONLY via e-mail. Poems submitted in any other
fashion will NOT be published. Poetry that includes some reference to
music is granted first priority for publication.

BOOKS: We will review
some books; books about music are PREFERRED. We will NOT return any books
submitted for review. Snail them to the address listed above for MUSIC.

DIY Announcements: We
will post your (e-mailed) ad about DIY projects, regardless of genre or
medium... HOWEVER, this is ONLY for INDEPENDENTS... if you are a corporation,
don't even BOTHER sending stuff... it will be marked and reported as SPAM!

Well, we are very happy to announce that we had
several POEMS submitted this time 'round from our friend Rochelle Hope Mehr,
as well as a new poet friend, Golda Solomon, so the "poetry" pages can come
alive again!
